S.A. Concerned Defense will Sell Pics of Caylee's Remains

[TURBOTHINK]

Of course you're not seeing it. Why would the prosecutor make a motion to withhold evidence from the defense? That would be unconstitutional. By restricting this evidence, they're effectively limiting the right of the defendant to confront witnesses and her counsel from preparing a zealous defense. If this motion were to be granted it would set a dangerous precedent for the rights of all citizens.

I don't think that many people grasp that concept - they have so telescoped their vision to this one case, that they simply cannot grasp that this case can set precedent that can affect us all.

The prosecution is NOT making a motion to WITHHOLD anything, but to protect the privacy of Cayee. Surely you do not think that is a bad thing, do you?

Evidence is restricted ALL the time in cases involving juveniles. It is NOT setting a new precedent at all if you know anything about law pertaining to juveniles.

In most child cases, ALL the evidence (films, picture, etc.) is normally shown to the defendant's attorney "under guard" (in presence of DA, LE, or a court appointed cutodian) and they have NO opportunity to handle or make a copy of the evidence.

Thank you, Carrington. I finally saw it.

I do not think that JB wants that info out there NOW. But do I think that info could be bartered in the future for book deals, movies, true crime dramas by someone(not necessarily JB)? Yes! Is this all about copywright?

I hope not NOW and NEVER.

IMHO, it would not be a bad precedent to set to restrict the sale of such things as autopsy photos/images for criminal cases. I agree that restricting use for the defense team itself can be tricky, but as for confronting witnesses, in regards to the autopsy, the witnesses that would be confronted would be the fellow experts who performed the autopsy in the first place, not any other state's witness, I would imagine.

Certainly you aren't suggesting that if the motion was approved with a specific clause stating the images cannot be sold, in any manner, that would be a bad thing for other cases, too?

There is no clause in the motion asking that the images not be sold. The prosecution is asking the judge to limit what the defense can do with the images, for instance sending them out of the jurisdiction for analysis by their own experts. They want JB to be present for any viewing of the images by defense experts.

I understand that.

I am wondering just how much money this 3rd party backing the defense is willing to spend before they throw in the towel and say that it just isn't worth it? Limitless deep pockets? Whomever it is has a very deep interest in this case. I hope it leaks out as to who it is. I do not mind admitting that I would REALLY like to know.

 

[TURBOTHINK]

I don't believe the state is trying to withhold evidence, they are only trying to be certain that these traumatic, and probably vivid photos of poor Caylee don't end up on the internet and on the cover of the grocery store tabloids!

As far as your last paragraph, I wouldn't have any problem at all with the prosecution wanting to be sure that my baby's photos of skeletal remains didn't end up public! It is blatantly apparent to me that they only want the ME's photos and findings to try to shoot holes in them as was stated by another poster. The defense doesn't have a case all they can try to do is get KC off on some technicality - so they are looking for some mistake somewhere - anywhere to help their case. While they are at it, they can make some $$!

If the prosecution just wants reassurance that the photos won't be sold, why is JB objecting? UNLESS HE (or someone) WANTS THEM SOLD FOR $$$!

This trial is going to be laughable I'm sure!

THAT is my question. I have had the theory from the beginning of the filing of the motion that the SA got wind of Baez shopping some photographs and wanted them to remain private for the sake of Caylee.

I can see Baez doing that to raise money because I am convinced he is broke and cannot further finance this defense. The bills for that little fiasco of "experts" has now arrived and they may not be willing to come back until the bill is paid.

I feel sure this will be asked in court, and I am not convinced anymore there is a 3rd person. I am now questioning if Baez has been the one and wanted to keep it hidden.

I think the Judge tomorrow will say that the pictures and x-rays have to be turned over, but that they may not be reproduced, sold, mailed, or emailed via Internet. I should have made that point in my earlier post.

For the life of me, I can not think who could have such a deep interest except for the A's. But there is no why that they could be financing this dream team.

Which means they hold HIM responsible if ANY of them get out and his bonding company would have to pay damages. It also means that no copies could be made.

I am in hopes for Caylee's sake, they put a conservator over them.

Yes, they are NOW, part of it.

ORANGE COUNTY, Fla. (WOFL FOX 35, Orlando) -- On Wednesday George and Cindy Anthony’s attorney, Brad Conway, met with the State Attorney's Office and lead investigators telling them his clients want strict regulations put on how three discs with photos and x-rays taken during Caylee's autopsy are handled by their daughter Casey Anthony's defense team.

BChere.

Is there a source for this, or is it just a reporter saying it? Given Nick Savage was there, it sure sounds like they were talking about OJ charges/immunity etc, and not pics OR they were being asked about the pics they've already sold.

I'll believe it when/if LE confirm that is what the meeting was about. I think charges are on the way.

Thanks, TURBOTHINK. Baez has not been practicing law for more than just a few years, so I wonder if he would have that kind of money.

I had a horrible death in my family too and had to be at work the day after I found out. I've had many friends in this situation too. People brought some food around but I never considered asking for donations and checking into the Ritz. I also had a hard time eating and would have thought it was a sick joke if someone asked me to have dinner at somewhere like Morgans on the day of getting the news.

It's always been standard practice for friends and neighbors to pitch in and bring food for the family, and do what they could for the family. But, I don't remember anyone just quitting work and letting others take care of their day-to-day existence through donations.

What the Anthonys have done is terrible and I hope that others in future situations such as this will act appropriately and not allow this to become a trend.

The fact that the SA's felt they HAD to get a court order to protect the photos and xrays of the remains of this child from her own mother's attorney, (and possibly her grandparents), to keep them from profiting.......gasping here......anyone, no, any family who would do this to a murdered baby is wicked. MOO

"Baez calls the prosecution’s motion “without merit or precedent” and says it would create an “undue and unheard of burden” on the defense."
This response from the defense does not leave me hopeful that the prosecution's concern was unfounded. moo

 

[bunnyphoenix1]

Makes sense to me. They want the issue resolved, which ultimately will mean the items are turned over to the defense, and they also do not want the photos sold.

That may be your opinion, but it's far from an established fact!

Yes, they evidently are, so it may have been them "shopping." I can't wrap my brain around that, but most things they have done, I can't fathom either so at this point I put nothing past them.

 

[aprilshowers]

Excellent point! (And love the way you said it!)

Do you remember hearing this too SS?

Someone was "shopping" them. That is for sure.
